Oh, i see what you mean now...i was thinking it was additional to the bearing, hence my confusion.  just checked the bearing in my rear wheel and yes the drive side shows the exposed ball bearing.  bugger.  any other solution than purchase a new bearing as they're not cheap?  thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

A bad wheel bearing will stop you so you might as well pop a new one in.
